Hi

Im thinking of getting an LCD display typically 17" and in the R2500 price range.
What models and makes should I look out for in terms of response time for gaming. I saw a viewsonic at viva computers with a response time of 25ms
and a price of R2499 is tis good for gaming?
 
I've got a viewsonic 19" with a 8ms response time - what a joy to have. Excellent for gaming. I think the 25ms is not quite good enough for gaming though...
 
aye, look for something in the 8-12ms range. funny though, i have had my 24ms LCD for over 2 years and it doesnt affect me much. or am i too old to notice? :p
 
Which stores supply 8ms? viewsonic lcd's. Im in cape town. Wanna go check them out.:)
 
Ve510s 15" Lcd R1599 .00 Response Time 16ms
Vp171b 17" Lcd R2899 .00 Response Time 8ms
Va712s 17" Lcd R2149 .00 Response Time 8ms
Vx912 19" Lcd R3299 .00 Response Time 8ms
Vx715 17" Lcd R2399 .00 Response Time 8ms
Vp191s 19" Lcd R4199 .00 Response Time 8ms

I have a 8ms Philips; If your coming from a CRT enviroment it will feel choppy; but once you get used to it 8ms is fine for gaming; idealy thow you'd want 4ms or lower (do thows exist ?) considering that CRT is something like 0.2ms.

I have the Viewsonic VX912 (8ms) response time and it handles games such as BF2 and CoD2 beautifully!

The thing is if your used too 120fps+ and you switch too 8ms lcd it looks "low fps" if that can describe it. After using the screen for so long now i dont even notice it any more, but it did take me some time too adjust. I think it might have something to do with the max refresh rate on the monitor; mine is only 75 so I'm prolly only geting 75fps out of it. I don't have v-sync on. Its like visibly it seems like the games (fast fps like quake 3 etc) are slow but you can still feel that the game is rendering 120fps+.
 
Yes im used to playing games on my old pc at under 30 frames per second:o . Trying to move with the times now. Anyways i have no idea were to find these lcd's. The closest i came was cafe viva but thats the 25ms range. Otherwise ill have to go to makro.:(
 
Goto a supplier; NEVER buy from a retail store they usualy only stock the cheap crap. I got my Philips from Drive Control Center(I think thats what the place was called can't remember so well any more).
 
Drive Control Corporation :p

My only problem with LCD's is that they can't really do the silly resolutions that I want.

We stock the products that the supplers stock and you need to be a dealer with the supplyers to purchase from them...:mad:
